Miro 1.0's provided channels are easy to use
Even though Miro 1.0 provides an easy to use software platform, it's not perfect. Some of the shows, even ones promised as High Definition quality, were choppy and had digital noise problems in full screen mode. I also found that the search bar, a feature that connects to the major video providers like YouTube and Revver, did not find many common videos on these sites. And some of the videos that it found were not full videos; many were just clips of the original content, forcing users to go to the content providers Web site to view the rest of the video.
Overall, Miro 1.0 is certainly a step forward for open source video technology, and is a contender in the lucrative internet TV market. I found Miro's easy to use interface and content quality to be better than Veoh, but not quite as good as Joost. Even though Miro promises more content and open standards, Joost still has better content with a guarantee of quality. But Miro is in a great position to surpass Joost, and with newer versions, Miro may just take the number one spot as the place to be for internet TV. To download Miro 1.0 for free, go to getmiro.com.
